M0 ftntc 0HtttL FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 18, 18f9. The Inweslgatlng Committee and Mr, Bliss, Editors of Stati Journal: Whilo the character of tho Report on tlie Treasury Defalcation lias been under discussion by tho public and tho legislnttire, I have occupied some moments of leisure in examining tlint part of it, which, in the recapitulation purports to malce Mr. Bliss, the predecessor of Mr. Ilrcslin in the Treasury Department, a dofnulter to tho amount of f 100,-0011. The result, of my lnvostigntion is repoct-fully submitted to you. The committee in the courao of their report, find it nocessary to furnish the following roceipt from Mr. Ilrcslin to Mr. Bliss, on their final settlement.: "" Titr-AeuRv Omni, Ohio. Columbus, Oct. 20, '52 Received of Albert A. Bliss, Esq., late Treasurer of Stale, payment in full of all balances charged against him. as said Treasurer, on the booksof this office, January 12, 1852, and all indebtednesa that haa appeared against him ss Treasurer uu to this date. J. G. BRESLIN, Treasurerof Btate. This very plain and satisfactory document, the committee, several t imes in I ho course of thoir report, denominate '-the peculiar receipt of Brcslin." It certainly is peculiar, and it would seem, very satisfactory to tho friends, and especially tho bondsmen of Mr. Bliss. Mr. Brcslin, also, in his statement, exonorntos Mr. llliss from any final defalcation, although alleging considerable delay in the entire nott.loment. But the committee, not withstanding thoir usual tenderness for Mr. Breslin, find it necessary, in carrying out their cherished purpose of fixing upon the Republicans at . least one-half the do-1 fulcation, entirely to discredit and treat as a nullity the full receipt of Mr, Breslin, copied , abovp, and the corresponding declarations in his statement. , : u ,.. , u i In their recapitulation of the result of their labors in ferreting out the Immediate causes of the defalcation, they commence with the foU lowing itoms; if . ' .1 ! Unpaid balance of Bliss's ucknowMard defal- . ! ,, ".'ui ration of ii,UO0, assumed by Bartllt k Smith ....., 117,600 Additional duplication of Bliss, sacartaiiied by .,, ., Ih'i present commission 37,802 63 Loss Ly deposit of llll.s with W. JC. Chltlen- c ; don, banker, New York ' 48,828 20 Making, in the aggregate, the round sum of $104,190.73. ' "'-''t In previous part of the Report, (that relat-,' 1 ingto Mr. Bliss exclusively,) they are content t to charge him with the last two items only, ., amounting to $80190,73 $85,090.78, as they give it, by ah error in the footing. But subsequently they conjure up tho other item of $17,- t 500,00, and prefix it to the others in the recapit- ulation, where it will bo read by thousands who will never examine the report in detail. '. , "And now let us examine the foregoing three ' items separately, and all the evidence upon ' which they are respectively based, and thus ascertain the fairness and propriety of sotting thorn down in the conclusion as items making up tho defalcation of Mr. Bliss. ' Mr. Bliss, in his examination before the committee, acknowledges that be was a defaulter at first, to the amount of $05,000, which by means of his own, and the aid of .his sureties, was finally pnid, and the "peoulinr roceipt" of ' Mr. Brcslin, already given, was taken at tho ;' fiuul payment. This is fully corroborated by Mr. Breslin in his statement, who says; n "Messrs. Sulllviint and others, sureties, negotiated with , Messrs. Ilartlltt Smith, for the payment nf the balance due iiuui the deficit of Mr. Bliss, and for which they, ths , sureties had given me their cheek. I was not a party to this negotiation, in any manner, and Hartliti it Smith paid me in a eery nhort time the trhole nmtmnt due, which payment , concluded my connection with that matter." This, with the "peculiar receipt," would seem ' to be pretty satisfactory; but that is not all. The committee say in their report: 1,, "It was proved In the Investigation by Mr. Taylor of ths Joint committee on Finance, from other evidence than Mr. Brealln'a and 31 r. llll.s' declaration, bring the testimony of H. II. Carrington, that $25,000 or thia sum was realized from ths assets of Mr. Bliss, and paid to Mr. Breslin in cash; and probably made available for the State. The balance, $IO,(sKI, was' arranged by the sureties to be paid by Burtlitt A Smith." And again: . . "Mr. Bliss was enabled to turn over to bis securities personal asaeta to the amount or (22,613, as appears by the report or the Joint Committee of Finance, made la ths spring of I860." But, it was desirable to mako the alleged defalcation of Mr. Bliss amount to a rood one Aun ' tired thousand; and so they resort to the following expedient: , ...... "Breslin proposes to transfer to the State, bonda and atock of the Columbus, Plquaand Indiana Railroad Com. ' pany, to tho amount of about 817,600. We believe these , bonda to be a remnant of the Indebtedness of Mr. Bliss, assumed by Bartlitt A Smith. Mr. Breslin gives ao account of the manner In which they came into bis bonda, or became the property of the State." They establish no sort of connexion between-those bonds and the payment assumed by Bart-. lilt & Smith, which Breslin testifies, as above, , was "paid me in a very short time the whole amount due." But, as It does not distinctly ap pear bow Breslin eame in pnesession of tb thev "lump at a conclusion," ana set it ao a defalcation of Bliss I So much for item' in the "recapitulation." : '. r The aooond item of $37,802.58, in the al defalcation of Mr. Bliss, is made up in Litis w The committee fix upon the sum made npfri the books of the treasury, that ought to have ' been paid by Bliss to Ureshn, at the transfer of, the treasury from the former to the latter. . And although the books for other purposes, are en. tirely.discredited by the committee, and their blunders and blindnesses dwelt upon in long i paragraphs of wise teaching upon book-keeping ' and politcal economy, yet, for this purpose, they are held entitled to explioit credit. Of that we do not complain, however. The committee then, ' after orcditing the amount paid by Mr. Bliss at-times, and in ways that they cannot gainsay, take it for granted that the balance was not paid at all, because they do not discover the times and ways with equal distinctness. , And, again ignoring tho settlement and receipt in full of. Mr. Breslin, they come to the following conclu-1' gion: ' ' . ' - ' ' "Assuming, therefore. In the absence ef all evitlenoeon ' the part of Mr. Bliss, except his statement, and the peculiar receipt given by Mr. Breslin, and we think every circumstance fully just I hes this assumption, that no furthers sum than the 8201 ,478.32 was paid iu cash to Mr. Breelln, and adding lei it the (116,000 subsequently pnid through ths 1 sureties, wo find that $208,478.32 was Ihe full amount paid : by Mr. Bliss to his successor. Deducting this sum from ths ?:i4.tlKI.,l, the amount shown by the booka to be due, and a balance of $'I7,hi:2.,M, is found to be yet due from Mr. Bliss to Mr. Breslin, or the State Treaaury." And thus is mado up the second item of Mr. Bliss's alleged defalcation, or the aiiumption that, because the committee don't know exactly how and when it was paid, it was not paid at all, notwithstanding the highest kind of evidence that it was paid, to wit: The full receipt of Mr. Breslin, given at a time when no defalcation or trouble was Anticipated on the part of the latter. :. . , .. . The third and Inst item of the alleged defalcation of Mr. Bliss, was got up- in this wise. We quote from the report of the committee: "Mr. Breelln, at the itmo of hia setilemsnt with Ur. Bllsa, received from him a certificate of deuoalt of W. E. Chittenden, banker, New York, for S4S,4n4.76, as money, 1 which was in violation of law and of every Juat rule of , official conduct, and either by hia own remissness, or by tlie advice of Mr. Bliss, the larger portion or it was lost to ths Stats." . . This payment was mado to Mr. BreBlin in the spring of 1802; and he (Breslin,) says in his ' statement:' 1 ' "It was distinctly understood at the time that the amount , was to lie paid nisin New York on tho firat of Julyenaulng. About that time, I called on Mr. Chittenden at hie office in New York, to request payment nf the amount due me. I found Mr. Bliss (who bail previously called on me) at Hr. : Chittenden's office. After some conversation with both theee gentlemen, In which they requested a continuance of thedopoeft, Mr. Bliss stating again that my acquaintance would be duly appreciated as a favor personal to himself, , I consented not to call for the amount, having again received the assurance of Mr. Bliss ss to the safety of leaving -' the deposit undisturbed. With ths understanding then , that the amount would be paid me on the 1st of January . ensuing, I agreed not to call for It until that time. Refore the 1st of January, I wrote to Ur. Chittenden that It would he absolutely necessary that hs should be prepared to pay the balance due me, he having, since July, paid about , S13.000, But Mr. Breslin did not call npon Mr. Chittenden the first of January, and before he did 1 call for the money, Mr. Chittenden had failed. Now, in ordinary transactions, when a man takes securities in payment of a claim, and no-. gleets, from timo to time, to call for payment, according to agreement, until the creditor becomes insolvent, the loss falls upon the unfort- , unate holder of tho securities. But that rule, does not suit the committee. . They say : , "We have no hesitation in saying, that If Mr. Breslin ' statement concerning the transaction l true, Mr. Bliee ia, to an equal extent with him, re.pouslhlo for this loss to the Stale." And so they set it all down as the defalcation of Mr. Bliss I Mark that, according to the statement of Mr. Breslin, $13,000 in one item, 1 (and about $0,000 in two other items,) had been , paid on this claim. The $13,000 is acknowledged by tlio committee subsequently; but to deduot that amount in the "recapitulation," 1 would reduce the whole defalcation bolow the round $100,000, which was not doBirable. 80, , 'overlooking the $10,000 that had been paid, and after dividing the responsibility between Bliss and Brcslin, the whole is set down to the discredit of llliss; nnd thus a defalcation of $100,000 and over is made out against him. , I have not writton the foregoing, Messrs. Editors, solely, or chiefly to exonerate Mr. Bliss 1 from censure or linbility. This loose manner of ' doing husiness, and the malpraotice in office of which ho was actually guilty, are a source of . too much mortification to every Republican, to muko any one very anxious to white-wash him, to covor up his dolinqtieucy But while- every attempt possible will be made on the part of the ' friends of the committee to use the report, or at least its conclusions, for tho purpose of accomplishing the partisan ends designed by it, the above evitkism of a single point in the report, has seemed toirue proper and desirable.

M0 ftntc 0HtttL FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 18, 18f9. The Inweslgatlng Committee and Mr, Bliss, Editors of Stati Journal: Whilo the character of tho Report on tlie Treasury Defalcation lias been under discussion by tho public and tho legislnttire, I have occupied some moments of leisure in examining tlint part of it, which, in the recapitulation purports to malce Mr. Bliss, the predecessor of Mr. Ilrcslin in the Treasury Department, a dofnulter to tho amount of f 100,-0011. The result, of my lnvostigntion is repoct-fully submitted to you. The committee in the courao of their report, find it nocessary to furnish the following roceipt from Mr. Ilrcslin to Mr. Bliss, on their final settlement.: "" Titr-AeuRv Omni, Ohio. Columbus, Oct. 20, '52 Received of Albert A. Bliss, Esq., late Treasurer of Stale, payment in full of all balances charged against him. as said Treasurer, on the booksof this office, January 12, 1852, and all indebtednesa that haa appeared against him ss Treasurer uu to this date. J. G. BRESLIN, Treasurerof Btate. This very plain and satisfactory document, the committee, several t imes in I ho course of thoir report, denominate '-the peculiar receipt of Brcslin." It certainly is peculiar, and it would seem, very satisfactory to tho friends, and especially tho bondsmen of Mr. Bliss. Mr. Brcslin, also, in his statement, exonorntos Mr. llliss from any final defalcation, although alleging considerable delay in the entire nott.loment. But the committee, not withstanding thoir usual tenderness for Mr. Breslin, find it necessary, in carrying out their cherished purpose of fixing upon the Republicans at . least one-half the do-1 fulcation, entirely to discredit and treat as a nullity the full receipt of Mr, Breslin, copied , abovp, and the corresponding declarations in his statement. , : u ,.. , u i In their recapitulation of the result of their labors in ferreting out the Immediate causes of the defalcation, they commence with the foU lowing itoms; if . ' .1 ! Unpaid balance of Bliss's ucknowMard defal- . ! ,, ".'ui ration of ii,UO0, assumed by Bartllt k Smith ....., 117,600 Additional duplication of Bliss, sacartaiiied by .,, ., Ih'i present commission 37,802 63 Loss Ly deposit of llll.s with W. JC. Chltlen- c ; don, banker, New York ' 48,828 20 Making, in the aggregate, the round sum of $104,190.73. ' "'-''t In previous part of the Report, (that relat-,' 1 ingto Mr. Bliss exclusively,) they are content t to charge him with the last two items only, ., amounting to $80190,73 $85,090.78, as they give it, by ah error in the footing. But subsequently they conjure up tho other item of $17,- t 500,00, and prefix it to the others in the recapit- ulation, where it will bo read by thousands who will never examine the report in detail. '. , "And now let us examine the foregoing three ' items separately, and all the evidence upon ' which they are respectively based, and thus ascertain the fairness and propriety of sotting thorn down in the conclusion as items making up tho defalcation of Mr. Bliss. ' Mr. Bliss, in his examination before the committee, acknowledges that be was a defaulter at first, to the amount of $05,000, which by means of his own, and the aid of .his sureties, was finally pnid, and the "peoulinr roceipt" of ' Mr. Brcslin, already given, was taken at tho ;' fiuul payment. This is fully corroborated by Mr. Breslin in his statement, who says; n "Messrs. Sulllviint and others, sureties, negotiated with , Messrs. Ilartlltt Smith, for the payment nf the balance due iiuui the deficit of Mr. Bliss, and for which they, ths , sureties had given me their cheek. I was not a party to this negotiation, in any manner, and Hartliti it Smith paid me in a eery nhort time the trhole nmtmnt due, which payment , concluded my connection with that matter." This, with the "peculiar receipt," would seem ' to be pretty satisfactory; but that is not all. The committee say in their report: 1,, "It was proved In the Investigation by Mr. Taylor of ths Joint committee on Finance, from other evidence than Mr. Brealln'a and 31 r. llll.s' declaration, bring the testimony of H. II. Carrington, that $25,000 or thia sum was realized from ths assets of Mr. Bliss, and paid to Mr. Breslin in cash; and probably made available for the State. The balance, $IO,(sKI, was' arranged by the sureties to be paid by Burtlitt A Smith." And again: . . "Mr. Bliss was enabled to turn over to bis securities personal asaeta to the amount or (22,613, as appears by the report or the Joint Committee of Finance, made la ths spring of I860." But, it was desirable to mako the alleged defalcation of Mr. Bliss amount to a rood one Aun ' tired thousand; and so they resort to the following expedient: , ...... "Breslin proposes to transfer to the State, bonda and atock of the Columbus, Plquaand Indiana Railroad Com. ' pany, to tho amount of about 817,600. We believe these , bonda to be a remnant of the Indebtedness of Mr. Bliss, assumed by Bartlitt A Smith. Mr. Breslin gives ao account of the manner In which they came into bis bonda, or became the property of the State." They establish no sort of connexion between-those bonds and the payment assumed by Bart-. lilt & Smith, which Breslin testifies, as above, , was "paid me in a very short time the whole amount due." But, as It does not distinctly ap pear bow Breslin eame in pnesession of tb thev "lump at a conclusion," ana set it ao a defalcation of Bliss I So much for item' in the "recapitulation." : '. r The aooond item of $37,802.58, in the al defalcation of Mr. Bliss, is made up in Litis w The committee fix upon the sum made npfri the books of the treasury, that ought to have ' been paid by Bliss to Ureshn, at the transfer of, the treasury from the former to the latter. . And although the books for other purposes, are en. tirely.discredited by the committee, and their blunders and blindnesses dwelt upon in long i paragraphs of wise teaching upon book-keeping ' and politcal economy, yet, for this purpose, they are held entitled to explioit credit. Of that we do not complain, however. The committee then, ' after orcditing the amount paid by Mr. Bliss at-times, and in ways that they cannot gainsay, take it for granted that the balance was not paid at all, because they do not discover the times and ways with equal distinctness. , And, again ignoring tho settlement and receipt in full of. Mr. Breslin, they come to the following conclu-1' gion: ' ' . ' - ' ' "Assuming, therefore. In the absence ef all evitlenoeon ' the part of Mr. Bliss, except his statement, and the peculiar receipt given by Mr. Breslin, and we think every circumstance fully just I hes this assumption, that no furthers sum than the 8201 ,478.32 was paid iu cash to Mr. Breelln, and adding lei it the (116,000 subsequently pnid through ths 1 sureties, wo find that $208,478.32 was Ihe full amount paid : by Mr. Bliss to his successor. Deducting this sum from ths ?:i4.tlKI.,l, the amount shown by the booka to be due, and a balance of $'I7,hi:2.,M, is found to be yet due from Mr. Bliss to Mr. Breslin, or the State Treaaury." And thus is mado up the second item of Mr. Bliss's alleged defalcation, or the aiiumption that, because the committee don't know exactly how and when it was paid, it was not paid at all, notwithstanding the highest kind of evidence that it was paid, to wit: The full receipt of Mr. Breslin, given at a time when no defalcation or trouble was Anticipated on the part of the latter. :. . , .. . The third and Inst item of the alleged defalcation of Mr. Bliss, was got up- in this wise. We quote from the report of the committee: "Mr. Breelln, at the itmo of hia setilemsnt with Ur. Bllsa, received from him a certificate of deuoalt of W. E. Chittenden, banker, New York, for S4S,4n4.76, as money, 1 which was in violation of law and of every Juat rule of , official conduct, and either by hia own remissness, or by tlie advice of Mr. Bliss, the larger portion or it was lost to ths Stats." . . This payment was mado to Mr. BreBlin in the spring of 1802; and he (Breslin,) says in his ' statement:' 1 ' "It was distinctly understood at the time that the amount , was to lie paid nisin New York on tho firat of Julyenaulng. About that time, I called on Mr. Chittenden at hie office in New York, to request payment nf the amount due me. I found Mr. Bliss (who bail previously called on me) at Hr. : Chittenden's office. After some conversation with both theee gentlemen, In which they requested a continuance of thedopoeft, Mr. Bliss stating again that my acquaintance would be duly appreciated as a favor personal to himself, , I consented not to call for the amount, having again received the assurance of Mr. Bliss ss to the safety of leaving -' the deposit undisturbed. With ths understanding then , that the amount would be paid me on the 1st of January . ensuing, I agreed not to call for It until that time. Refore the 1st of January, I wrote to Ur. Chittenden that It would he absolutely necessary that hs should be prepared to pay the balance due me, he having, since July, paid about , S13.000, But Mr. Breslin did not call npon Mr. Chittenden the first of January, and before he did 1 call for the money, Mr. Chittenden had failed. Now, in ordinary transactions, when a man takes securities in payment of a claim, and no-. gleets, from timo to time, to call for payment, according to agreement, until the creditor becomes insolvent, the loss falls upon the unfort- , unate holder of tho securities. But that rule, does not suit the committee. . They say : , "We have no hesitation in saying, that If Mr. Breslin ' statement concerning the transaction l true, Mr. Bliee ia, to an equal extent with him, re.pouslhlo for this loss to the Stale." And so they set it all down as the defalcation of Mr. Bliss I Mark that, according to the statement of Mr. Breslin, $13,000 in one item, 1 (and about $0,000 in two other items,) had been , paid on this claim. The $13,000 is acknowledged by tlio committee subsequently; but to deduot that amount in the "recapitulation," 1 would reduce the whole defalcation bolow the round $100,000, which was not doBirable. 80, , 'overlooking the $10,000 that had been paid, and after dividing the responsibility between Bliss and Brcslin, the whole is set down to the discredit of llliss; nnd thus a defalcation of $100,000 and over is made out against him. , I have not writton the foregoing, Messrs. Editors, solely, or chiefly to exonerate Mr. Bliss 1 from censure or linbility. This loose manner of ' doing husiness, and the malpraotice in office of which ho was actually guilty, are a source of . too much mortification to every Republican, to muko any one very anxious to white-wash him, to covor up his dolinqtieucy But while- every attempt possible will be made on the part of the ' friends of the committee to use the report, or at least its conclusions, for tho purpose of accomplishing the partisan ends designed by it, the above evitkism of a single point in the report, has seemed toirue proper and desirable.
